A tribute to Badfinger's Pete Ham and Tom Evans by Ferry & Randy Lever
Strings by Christan Grotenbreg
'Carry on' is in our opinion one of the most beautiful (and underrated) pop songs ever written.
For more info on Pete, Tom, Badfinger and The Iveys, check Tom Brennan's excellent Badfinger Library at http://www.badfingerlibrary.com/
Great bass lines by Ron Griffiths on the original track!
Carry on till tomorrow
(Tom Evans & Pete Ham)
In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on to tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on to tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head
For the world and it's colors will be mine
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on to tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
